The Dreaded Ear Infection

Sick Again :(
After a busy week of Mom's surgery, my last week at Maxwell Street before summer break, I didn't even think about the possibility of Case getting sick again!
He went to the baby room (daycare across the hall from my nursery school room at work) on my last day, this past Wednesday, since Mom was resting and recovering after surgery.
He picked up some sort of cold we guess, but was acting and feeling fine. Well, then he was burning up on Friday afternoon, and even with Baby Motrin the fever wasn't breaking. So this morning, day four of a fever, I took Case to the Doctor to discover he has an ear infection in his right ear. His temperature was 102, and he was just miserable. He woke up this morning around 7:30 as usual, went right back down for a nap at 8:30, slept until 1o...we went to the Doctor at 11, filled his prescription for the antibiotic and he's back in bed! Poor little guy
:(
The worst part about your baby getting sick is that you can't tell them it will get better, and they can't tell you what is hurting!
We're going to take it easy this week, and hope that the antibiotic will kick this thing out of there.
Hopefully Case will be feeling much better by Friday...it's his 8 month birthday you know. :)
